Question

Consider a spherical soap bubble with an initial radius of 30 cm. A small thread making a circular loop of radius 1 mm is placed on the surface. Now the soap film inside the loop is pierced. As a result the air inside the soap bubble starts flowing out. Assume that the air flowing out is an ideal incompressible fluid that follows Bernoulli's theorem. Air temperature inside and outside the bubble t = 27°C. Surface tension of the soap solution at this temperature S = 0.005 N/m.  Average molecular mass of air taken as 30 gm/mol. Atmospheric pressure = 105 Pa.

ρ0+4srρg+0=ρ0ρg+v22g

v2=8sρr

ρ=PMRT=105×30×103253×300=65kg/m3

y=8×0.00565×0.3=25185=13m/s
